I'm trying to debug a Spring Boot API application in Eclipse. I have breakpoints set but none of them are hitting when running the application. After looking into it some more, it seems that I need to install Spring Tool Suite Eclipse plugin. According to this post: How to debug a Spring Boot application in Spring Tool Suite, there should be a Debug As > Spring Boot App option when I right-click on the project. However, I am not seeing anything like this. When I open the "Boot Dashboard", I am just taken to a webpage with release notes.

Does anybody know what I am doing incorrectly? Thanks!

  • did you try to right click the main class of springboot app then click 'debug as' ? – Leroy Oct 10 '20 at 13:45
  • @Leroy When I try that there is only one option for "Java Application" –  Oct 10 '20 at 13:51

    The Spring Tools add some convenience features like property autocompletion but aren't required at all just to develop a Boot application. Just run it as "Java application" (assuming you're using the modern `main` style). – chrylis -cautiouslyoptimistic- Oct 10 '20 at 14:38
